The Order of the Polar Star is a Swedish royal order instituted in 1748 by the Swedish King Fredrik I. Until 1975 the Order of the Polar Star was a reward for Swedish and foreign "civic merits, for devotion to duty, for science, literary, learned and useful works and for new and beneficial institutions".
